Email Watch Faces

Microsoft Has Revealed an Android Wear Version of Its Mobile Outlook Mail

— June 8, 2016 — Tech
After previously adding the popular email software Microsoft Outlook Mail onto Apple Watches, the company has done the same but with an extra twist for Android wearables.

What is different about this version of Outlook mail is that rather than only having an option to go into the wearable to check emails, this version of Outlook will be a "watch face." This means that it will be part of the watch at all times and users can quickly check notifications, events and messages -- just as a phone would allow.

One benefit of this new application is that it allows people who are consistently dealing with urgent information a quick and easy way to communicate -- or choose when not to communicate. Rather than having to go out of their way to check to see if they have urgent emails, users can just glance at their watch.
Trend Themes
1. Continuous Watch Face Apps - The rise of continuous watch face apps for email and messaging can lead to increased productivity for users who need to quickly check urgent information.
2. Wearable Communication Tools - Innovations in wearable communication tools like Microsoft Outlook Mail for Android wearables can challenge traditional smartphone use in the workplace.
3. Smartwatch Efficiency - As smartwatches become more efficient, applications like Outlook Mail's new watch face feature will be key in maintaining efficient and effective communication on-the-go.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry needs to continue to innovate with communication tools like email watch faces in order to stay competitive.
2. Mobile Applications - Companies who develop mobile applications need to focus on wearable integration to meet consumer needs and expectations.
3. Productivity Tools - Productivity tool industries have an opportunity to develop new wearables and wearable applications that can enhance productivity and streamline communication for users.
